1 John 2:25

25 et haec est repromissio quam ipse pollicitus est nobis vitam aeternam

1 John 2:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 John 2:25

And this is the promise that he hath promised us
Either God the Father, who is that God that cannot lie, who in the covenant of his grace, before the world began, made this promise unto his people,

[even] eternal life;
which promise, with all others, was put into the hands of Christ, where, with them, it is yea and amen; and also the thing itself promised, where it is hid, and lies safe and secure: or the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who has promised it in the Gospel; for this is the sum of the Gospel declaration, that whoever believes in him shall have everlasting life; and this lies in the knowledge of the Father, and of the Son, and in the enjoyment of them, and conformity to them; wherefore the doctrine respecting them ought to be retained, and firmly adhered to.

23 omnis qui negat Filium nec Patrem habet qui confitetur Filium et Patrem habet

24 vos quod audistis ab initio in vobis permaneat si in vobis permanserit quod ab initio audistis et vos in Filio et Patre manebitis

25 et haec est repromissio quam ipse pollicitus est nobis vitam aeternam

26 haec scripsi vobis de eis qui seducunt vos

27 et vos unctionem quam accepistis ab eo manet in vobis et non necesse habetis ut aliquis doceat vos sed sicut unctio eius docet vos de omnibus et verum est et non est mendacium et sicut docuit vos manete in eo
